Following the success of the E-Mount 40mm f1.2, here is the VM mount version. Optically the same as the E-Mount but slightly adjusted so it can be worked by both film and digital platforms.

The Voigtländer 40 mm F1.2 Nokton II* VM combines modern high performance with the timeless charm of classic lens design. Two double-sided aspherical lens elements guarantee excellent image quality – even at open aperture. The large maximum aperture of F1.2 enables a soft, smooth bokeh and opens up creative scope in available light.

Despite its exceptional speed, the lens remains surprisingly compact: with a length that is ideal for working with rangefinder cameras and a weight of just 267 g (without accessories), it is light and balanced in the hand. The short length also reduces vignetting in the viewfinder image – a real advantage when working with optical viewfinders.

For optimum protection against stray light, the optionally available metal lens hood is recommended. This is available either as a compact version (LH-14) or in a longer version (LH-15). Both models can be mounted upside down to save space during transportation.

Differences to version I: the total weight has been further reduced (315 g à 267 g), and the filter ring is now completely black (instead of silver). The optical design has not been changed.

This high performance apochromatic lens reduces axial chromatic aberration to close to zero. Abnormal Partial Dispersion glass is used in 6 out of 8 elements for very high optical performance. The compact design reduces lens length to only 63.3mm.

Vignetting has been kept to a minimum. 12 aperture blades keep the aperture close to a circular shape for beautiful bokeh. The synergistic effect of the long focal length and large F2 aperture produces large background blurring for photographic expression.

Black or Silver finishes are available. A dedicated reversible metal lens hood is included for convenient storage and transportation.
